Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski and SDSM leader Zoran Zaev took little over two hours to persuade Borce Davitkovski, Dean of the Faculty of Law, to accept the office of president of the inquiry committee tasked with investigating the events of 24 December and before and determine whether the Constitution and the laws had been violated.

Professor Davitkovski will be chairing a 5-member committee most of whose members are professors at the Faculty of Law in Skopje. The committee includes Professor Ljubomir Frckoski and Renata Treneska-Deskovska as representatives of SDSM and MPs Blagorodna Dulik and Ilija Dimovski as representatives of VMRO-DPMNE.
